"If you see a bad review, read it. Some users don't understand the product and give it a single star before reading a manual. This drive is perfect."

Not MAC/PC compatible out of the box February 02, 2012

POSTED BY: John , Knoxville
Overall rating: 1.0 out of 5

"My previous portable hard drive was compatible for both read and write right of the box with my MAC and PC. It's why I chose it. No this new one and I can't find any information on how to make that happen or if it's possible. Oh, wait, I find lots of people on the forums saying "it's not possible" which makes me feel like I'm delusional. Now I have to return this new one and look online for an older model."

preinstalled software don't work November 02, 2011

POSTED BY: squigward , diamond, mo
Overall rating: 2.0 out of 5

"The instruction booklet doesn't offer much info about setting unit up other than how to plug it in. The software that is included in the drive is the same as the booklet. Unit updated the software when it was plugged in. Setup wouldn't work and kept giving an illegal operation error and would terminate. When going to Toshiba support site the product number isn't in their system but does show up as avalilable to buy. It will store the files with no problem and has a fast transfer rate. I would recommend it as a file storage unit but don't count on the backup software that is preinstalled to work."
